[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jongdrums:
wtf! bought a phone with a changed meid!

I bought an EVO 4G from craigslist and they sent me the MEID - which came up clean using

checkesnfree.com/index.html

I stupidly didn't bother to look at the MEID on the serial number tag to make sure that the MEID checked was the same, instead the guy showed me the settings>about>status to confirm it (obviously knew he was fooling me).

I finally looked at the serial number sticker and its a different MEID, but cleverly chosen with the same manufacturer id and similar serial number - based on research gleaned here:

howardforums.com/showthread.php/1433623-How-to-Calculate-MEID

Of course, the number on the sticker is NOT clean.

My phone is now activated with a spoofed MEID on Sprint. I should probably leave well enough alone, but it doesn't feel right. Anybody care to share their opinion about what could come of this?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bso44:
I've been running CM6 for a few months. I'm pretty happy with it but I wouldn't mind trying something new.

Is 2.3 worth trying? What advantages does it have over 2.2? Is it faster, have more useful features, does it look a lot cooler, etc? And which one do you guys recommend - AOSP's Gingerbread or CM7?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radrian92:
2.3 is way better than cm6! Its alot snappier and comes with more feautres.soaps is really nice since its a small build but with a big punch! Try it, you wont be dissapointed!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
2.2 is pretty stable. If you want to run on the latest releases, hit the nightlies. That's what I'm on.

[Defy General] antony.ps:
I like the Motorola Music Player, its very simple and clean. I tried to install the apk, rename the .apk to .zip and install via recovery, and to copy the apk (there's a post from fritolay saying to do that) to /system/app, without success. Any ideas how to install this app?
[Defy General] Chillimonster:
Put the APK on to the Sd card.

Enable unknown sources in setting / applications

Use a file manager to locate the apk and run it.

it will install to the phone an then it should work.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
This apk doesn't install via file manager, i have tried this before. I have seen in another post that needs to be copied to /system/app, but i haven't figured what to do next.

SOLVED! Copied the apk to /system/app and set the permission user read/write group and other read.
[Nexus S General] elusivepeanut:
My voice quality is awful to my callers. They think I'm on speaker phone. After a month of using this phone with this issue I exchanged it. Same result so I've dealt with it by using a Plantronics Pro which sounds decent. The problem is when I'm without a headset and I have to use the phone normally. People continuously tell me that they can not understand me.

Is everyone's NS microphone quality dismal?

My instinct tells me that it's the noise cancellation processing more than the microphone. When I leave quality test voicemails for myself in my house, it doesn't sound aweful but everywhere else people simply can not understand me without a headset!

Any ideas? Do you face this? Will an OS upgrade help?

OS 2.3.2
[Nexus S General] swa2k4:
I honestly recommend upgrading by rooting and getting the nscollab rom and flashing the new radio as well
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
I get told this all the time and it pisses me off so bad. I came from the n1 so I am used to having great call quality. As I understand it, the problem is due to the lack of a dedicated noise cancelling microphone and there isn't much we can do about it unless the genius devs can somehow enhance the software noise cancellation. I am rooted and using cm7 with kb3 radio.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
When the nexus s was first released there were topics complaining on this issue. Don't think there is a fix, its just the way it is. Root prob helps I bet, but I think its just Samsung Mic quality or the software noise cancel function.
[Nexus S General] Mactagonist:
Yup. I know I was one of those criticizing the vq on the nexus s on launch day. There is no real fix, if you depend on using your phone in noisy outdoor areas the nexus s is a massive downgrade from the nexus one or really any decent phone.
[Nexus S General] Bajo76:
Same problem as the Samsung Galaxy S.

Supercurio fixed the mic saturation during videorecording for the Galaxy S. I tweetet him yesterday if he is planing to fix it also for phone calls and he answered following:

@Bajo76 you mean voice&noise saturation in loud environments during calls? Next Voodoo sound vers. will introduce call-related improvements.
[Nexus S General] johnkim0011:
That is good to hear. While Voodoo sure has improved call quality, such problem still lingers from time to time.

I love CM7. I use it on my tablet. However there is not a stable build for my Epic 4g, and I would not want to switch to it anyways, as I am running Bonsai 4.0 and really love it. Its nice having android tablet and phone, AND having different version on each. keeps things interesting.

HOWEVER- there is one thing i would love to have on both devices. that is the overscroll glow effect present in CM7 (where the edges of your screen glow when you drag too far past a menu). Is there any way someone could make something that could be flashed in cwm that would provide similar functionality as the one in CM7??? I have posted on AC forums, on CM7 official forums (on their website), and now on here. No response on the others... hoping maybe one of the devs on here can work your magic. It would be GREATLY appreciated!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmcq77:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that a feature of CM7 or gingerbread altogether? I think you might just have to wait until we get stable(er) cm7 or gingerbread.

Sorry!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumahawk:
i believe it is a part of cm7. i have 2.2.1 on my phone already with no such feature. I was hoping there would be a dev that would be willing to either port that feature FROM cm7, or code something like it. i can, and DO, do all my own theming, but when it comes to code i have zero skill.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daazncandyman:
I thought 2.2.1 was froyo? I believe that feature is a part of gingerbread
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumahawk:
bahaa ya i forgot CM7 built on is the next version of android. haha. wow. ya it'd been a long day.

but does that mean there is no way to create such a feature on froyo?
[Desire General] lvnatic:
I already posted in the marketplace, but I wanted to hear your opinions, current Desire owners. I've been really worried with this device lately, mostly because of the hardware limitations it has. It costs almost the same as the SGS but it has a very weak GPU for today's high-end smartphone standards, it doesn't have a real multitouch (and I was shocked and felt scammed by HTC when I found out, I can't even play some modern shooters). The screen on the SGS is way much better (super amoled and bigger screen, my Desire has SLCD, enough said). I also have very limited internal memory and most Sense updates aren't supported because of this, I'm sick of app2sd or data2sd scripts that slow down the phone (don't tell me it doesn't, cause it does, class 6 card and I'm still getting lags when installing or deleting apps).

What I'm worried about on this trade, is the build quality on the samsung (I heard its kinda crappy), the sense UI (I will probably miss it, I tried several non-sense ROMs on and rolled back to Sense after a day or two), the missing camera flash (it's ok tho...) and I heard there are some issues with the GPS (which may be fixed with a custom ROM).

I'm also wondering if samsung will have an official update for gingerbread on their galaxy S, it would be a deal breaker if they wouldn't release it :(

Overall I feel pretty scammed with this device. Like I said, I payed a lot of money when it came out to find out that it doesn't even have multitouch, wth?

You, as Desire owners, would you trade your phone for a galaxy S?
[Desire General] friedkimchi:
Love HTC Desire

Nope and what games are you talking about?

I think the most graphic intensive game i have on my Desire is PES 2011?

How many apps do you actually need?

I love the extensive support for HTC Desire here at XDA.

Running MIUI rom on a class 2 sd card and yes I get the occasional lag which probably means some apps didn't close properly.

My Desire has the AMOLED screen.
[Desire General] lvnatic:
Shooters like nova or modern combat don't work properly because Desire doesn't have true multitouch screen. Aside from that, some gpu intensive games don't run smooth.
[Desire General] godutch:
If you need your phone for games, go for the sgs, I believe user experience is much more than simple specs though and that's why I went for the desire.

I think a whole new desire or other gsm smartphone line will be released soon after the evo 3d
[Desire General] aaa:
If you still have Desire in your hand, I say, can you wait for some time?

At least until Samsung Galaxy S2 or any other new Android phones from the next generation, those with dual cores proc, are already in the market.

I know Galaxy S or Desire HD is better than Desire but it is not really a major improvement (in my opinion).
[Desire General] lvnatic:
Thing is, I don't have much money to spend. If I would be getting a newer phone I would definitely get the Desire HD or something, but SGS is close to price on second-hand and it would be an easy trade. My next phone will be bought next year, I get a new one every 2 years. I was just thinking to this exchange atm. The lack of a true multitouch is really pissing me off.
[Desire General] aaa:
Hmmm...if you aren't really in need of having a new phone, I think Desire can still serve you well until next year..but..if you can get a good price for a second hand Galaxy S or Desire HD and also if you can get a good price for your current Desire..well...it is also not a bad idea...
[Desire General] 2411VILLA:
My mate's got a Galaxy S and it does feel flimsy when held next to my Desire. It's really light in comparison and although some could argue in it's favour, personally it just doesn't feel like it has the same build quality. I'd worry if it was dropped but then that's nothing a good case wouldn't fix I suppose.

The screen isn't noticeably better in normal use but I've got an AMOLED Desire, I haven't seen an LCD to compare to.

The lack of Sense and Sense widgets is really apparent and if, like you said, you don't like non-sense Roms then it could be an issue. This is still Android though of course so with a little patience you could still customise with apps that give a similar appearance if not quite exactly the same experience.

All being said, it is a nice piece of kit and it is better in graphic intensive games. There's no denying it's value for money. It would take quite a bit more to persuade me to swap my Desire for it though.
[Desire General] czesiu:
No. I've used samsung I5700 recently, a much cheaper phone, but I have enough of samsung for a while:) I already can tell that I don't really like sense and will switch to CM. I hate glossy plastic :D. Instead of app2sd I will use link2sd with custom hboot.

I imagine if not samsung someone will port gingerbread to i9000 and if you want good MT you probably need to switch anyway:)
[Desire General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i had a sgs fascinate and i hated it. yes the gpu is better and its noticable but the touchwiz ui sucks. plus super amoled kills sucks your battery life quickly. with 3 hours screen on, youll b at 20%. plus flashing custom roms and stuff can b a chore. odin is alot more tricky to play with then your providers ruu. id suggest the desire hd or wait 4 the desire s. there r things i miss about my sgs. but im happy with my desire. sense ui cannot b beat. 10minutes with touch wiz and youll understand what i mean
[Desire General] joebongo:
The GPS chip on the SGS is utterly ****. No two ways about it and no fix for it as it's a hardware design fault. Can't be used for driving navigation as it's only accurate to about 50-100m when moving.

If nav is important to you then don't do it.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
I don't know why you're having trouble with the Desire, just flash a new ROM and be done with it. If you can't be bothered, get the crappy DHD or the SGS.
[Desire General] MGuDiM:
Good deal? No period...

But then again I'm sure if you ask on SGS forum they'll tell you otherwise... I wouldn't change my desire for anything on the market right now...
[Desire General] radu_wizu:
If the performanc eof the desire is not enough just buy a class 10 microsd card of over 8gb and you will see a big difference in operating speed with any custom roms.

[Desire General] arknailed7754:
debateable?

Ihave the desire and my wife has the galaxy s,i do actually like the s,but more for its screen size not hardware or os. sense is a bonus for a phone i find,but its your preference,im running insertcoin 2.0.0 a2sd at the moment,roms,really do extend your love of a phone. Though roms are out for the galaxy...

but end of the day..................MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND?
[Desire General] vnvman:
Afaik the sgs is basically a desire with a better gpu and a bit newer cpu. If you don't care too much about games you should go for the desire since it has better software, better build quality, better support and last but not least better devs here on xda ;)
[Captivate General] Ownaginatious:
So I upgraded to clockworkmod recovery version 3.0.0.5 to try out the beta version of Cyanogenmod 7.

Anyway, it's waaay too buggy for me at the moment (random battery drainage and restarts) and I'd like to go to a different custom rom.

The problem I'm having is that clockworkmod versions > 3 apparently will only install ROMs that were compiled with Edify scripting... which appears to be just about none of the ROMs I'm interested in at the moment.

So I've tried downgrading through the ROM manager and through running flash_image on the phone's terminal several times - always landing me back in the orange coloured CWM v3.0.0.5.

So my question is; how would I get back to the older green coloured version of the recovery?

I've searched a couple of hours on the internet now, but have found almost nothing relating to the Samsung Galaxy Captivate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Just flash back to stock. Reroot if u need to then use rom manager to flash it
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Coming from CM7 you will have to return to stock before you can flash any other roms anyway. Its in the CM7 FAQ.
[Captivate General] sparker366:
Ok I see that you have only 2 posts so I am going to spell this out nicely.

1: Flash back to stock always when changing roms

2: Root the phone then load rom manager and install clockwork mod

3: That puts an update.zip on your internal sd card. Copy that to your computer in a safe directory. I put mine where I store my roms

4: Reboot your phone to recovery and install upadate.zip. Reboot to recovery and if CWM doesn't load install update.zip again and it will reboot to CWM the second time.

5: Then when you want to flash a rom flash back to stock then copy that update.zip to the phone copy the rom to the phone then reboot to recovery. If it doesn't reboot to CWM then install update.zip and it will reboot to CWM. Then you can install your rom.

MAKE SURE YOU FLASH BACK TO STOCK BEFORE ATTEMPTING A NEW ROM INSTALL.

[Droid 2 Global General] gifferjesus:
Getting married and repeatedly failing to make good on claims over a period of a couple months are two different things. As a businessman (due to the level of donations they get, he is one) you're expected to maintain a certain level of contact and production. Not saying I expect a release a week, but telling us a Fission ROM was done in January and still not having uploaded it near April makes me question my choices.
[Droid 2 Global General] thewalker303:
???

Yeah I feel you on that. Gingerbread was suppose to be around the corner in january, but I guess he meant in astronomical units.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
I think you are mistaking business with hobby. Donation is not a salary, neither puts any obligations to the person accepting it. What it says is "if you feel my work is worth your money, feel free to send me some, here is how". I donated too, I am not using fission, but that's a decision I made. I am not asking for my money back and I am still respecting the time the guy spent tweaking the software of our phones and his willingness to share the results with us.

The only one with obligations to provide us with software updates is Motorola. Certainly not the community or its members.
[Droid 2 Global General] Asphyx:
You donated for the version that exists. Not so you could get updates!

Why don't you go complain to Google why they haven't releaed Gingerbread for D2G yet?
